Homeopathy is used to treat many common acute and chronic pediatric problems, including asthma, allergies, colic, croup, eczema, behavioral disorders, otitis media, and diarrhea. Treatment by a homeopathic professional involves an extensive interview and evaluation that takes into account many things about the child, including physical health problems, family history, sleep patterns, food preferences, temperament, and behavioral patterns.

Because homeopathic medicines are so dilute, they are extremely safe for children. Most remedies are administered orally on sucrose or lactose pellets that are sweet tasting and dissolve on the tongue. Even patients hospitalized in the ICU can safely receive homeopathic medicines (to reduce pain or nausea or enhance recovery from trauma, for example).
